Camden, as new Gretna Green, is ex.
citing general interest throughout the
country. The ministers who unite the
greatest number of loving couples are
Revs. j. Y. Dobbins, Methodist j. J.
Sleeper Episcopal at present without a
charge; John j. Heisler, Methodist, and
Isaac w. Bagley, Baptist, to say nothing
of the Falstaffian Justice Cassidy, who
makes about eighty souls happy every
month.
Rev. Mr.. Dobbins as shown by the Off
cial records, averages 140 couples month.
In justice to him it must be said he makes
no fixed charges, trusting to the generosi-
ty of the happy pair. AS the average is
about 81 per couple, his annual income
from this source is sc, 720. The sixty
couples united every month by Rev. Mr.
Sleeper must net this brother about
81, 900 per year. The incomes of Brother
Heisler and Brother Bagley can only be
copjectured, but they do not differ ma
terially from that of Brother Sleeper
That makes about half dozen Camden
ministers enjoying an aggregate income
of $25, 200 per year. 1t is, therefore, sug-
gested that the we'll known protection
procliyities of Pennsylvania might very
justly be brought to bear at this juno.

SALT IN THE HAY NOW.

An exchange let's fall the following sug-
gestion: Every summer after the storing
of the hay and grain crops we hear of fires,
the origin of which being unknown is as
cribed to incendiarism, though doubtless II
the real cause could be ascertained it
would be found that they were the result
of spontaneous combustion--owin to hay
or other new crops while in process of
fermentation evolving heat sufficient to
produce fire. If farmers wish to prevent
their hay stacks or barns from firing, they
need only scatter a few handfuls of com
mon salt between the layers. Tue theory
is that the salt, by absorbing the humidi-
ty of the hay, not only prevents its fer
mentation, and consequently heating, but
it also adds a salty taste to this forage
which all cattle like, and, besides, it slim
ulates the appetite and assists their di-
gestion, and SO preserves them from
many diseases.

Elmer e. Search, telegraph opera
tor, was buried at Frenchtown on Mon
day last. He was bern in Kingwood
township, about 20 years ago, and learned
the trade of manufacturing segars in
Frenchtown, and then became a telegraph
operator and removed to Milford. One
week before his burial he in company
with his mother went to Ohio and arrived
there on Wednesday and died at an early
hour the next morning. His remains
were brought to Frenchtown on Saturday
evening His funeral was largely attend
ed on Monday, from the M. e. Church.
Rev. s. ID. Decker preached solemn dis,
course. He was member of Magnolia
Lodge. No. 81, 1. o. 0. F., which lodge
had charge of the funeral and performed
the last solemn rites of that fraternity at
the grave. Perseverance Lodge, Of Odd
Fellows, of Milford, also attended the
funeral in body, as we'll as many of the
telegraph operators and officials of the r.
r. Company.

One of the most remarkable, and at
the same time successful problems in
engineering was accomplished by Supt.
Crawford, Of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
at Holmesburg, near Philadelphia, one
day this week, in the removal, within
twelve minutes, Of the great iron bridge,
$50 feet long, distance OF fifty feet.
The problem had to be solved between
trains, and il was. No train, OF the
many which SO rapidly FOLLOW one an
other over that great road, was delayed
single second. and no accident was
possible tol occur, SO Carefully had all
the preparations been made. It is the
intention Of the Company to erect q
four-arched stone structure in place of
the present iron bridge, and the latter
had to be removed out OF the straight
line in which it lay and which is to be
occupied by the new structure. AS the
iron in the bridge weighs 1000 tons,
some idea may be formed Of the difficnl-
ty which attended its shifting, en- masse,
any distance whatever.

The Tribune says: Facts and figures
prove that American labor suffers from
no external Influence 1.-THE of the harm
which it inflicts upon itself and it is
equally clear that this self.infiicted in
jury often paralyzes its efforts to obtain
release from the burdens which are inn
posed on it from without. There are
not many situations in which the sober
man is not master of his future. There
are no conditions so favorable that they
may not be neutralized by intemper-
ance. To the drinker opportunities are
useless. Thrift and drink are incom-
patible, and without thrift the highest
wages in the world will not bring COM
petence or assurance against perjury.
There could be no nobler, more practi.
cal aim for the great labor organizations
than q crusade against the drink evil.

Interesting to Ladies.

Interesting to Ladies'.
Our lady readers can hardly fail to
have their attention called this week to
the latest combination of improvements
in that most useful of all domestic imple-
ments, the ''sewing machine"
As we understand it, a machine for
family use should meet first of all these
requirements: It should be simple in its
mechanism; it should run easily; it
should do wide range of work; it
should be as nearly noiseless as possible;
it should be light, handsome, durable,
and as cheap as is consistent with excell-
ence throughout.
These conditions the Light Running
New Home" certainly meets. 1t has
also several very important and useful
attachments and motions of its own,
which go far to make good its claims to
popular favor.
The "New Home specially recon-
mends itself to purchasers on account of
its superior mechanical construction,
ease of management and reasonable
price. Over half million have been
sold in the last three years, all of which
are giving universal satisfaction. This
unrivalled machine is manufactured by
the New HOME SEWING MACHINE Co.,
Orange, Mass, and 80 Union Square,
New York.

An Afro cious Assault.

An Afro cious Assault.
On Monday morning last three men
named respectively Charles Treftz. Will.
liam Parrish and Elwood Metz went Ia
the Chadwick Bindery, on Coryell street,
in this city, and attacked John Moore,
Of New Hope, who was employed on the
second floor of the bindery. Fists,
clubs, etc., made things lively for few
minutes, and the girls employed in the
rooms became greatly alarmed, and one
or two tainted. Moore was pretty badly
hurt, and Parrish received severe cut
across the forehead. A black Jack used
by Metz was taken from him by one OF
the hands.
1t is stated that on Saturday night the
same parties had fight on Union street,
and this was but continuation Of the
affray.
Trefiz and Parrish were arrested, and
taken before Esquire Horn. Owing to
misunderstanding as to the offence
(the warrant being sworn out simply for
fighting and Disturbance, Parrish was
only fined So. Treftz took leg bail and
has not yet been arrested, SO far as we
have heard. Metz was not arrested.

The subject Of adulteration is attract
ing wide attention and 1t may we'll do so
for it seems certain that there is hardly
anything in the way of food, drink or
drugs which ingenuity can depreciate,
that is not treated fraudulently to great,
er or less extent. 1t is doubtless a fact
that many, il not most of the adulterants,
are free from Injurious characteristics,
but, all are frauds, because all adultera.
tions are designed to reduce the value
without reducing the selling price of the
article.
Perhaps the most dangerous form OF
adulteration is that which reduces the
strength and quality of drugs, for in such
case the greater the skill of the medical
practitioner, leading him to a nice judy
ment Of the quantity of any element do.
sired, the worse win be the effect OF any
tampering with his prescription.
There seems to prevail vague idea
that Federal legislation on the subject of
adulteration would be unconstitutional,
and that the matter should be relegated
to State legislatures. 1t is difficult to see
on what such an idea can be based, since
the health of the people of the Nation is
eminently matter for Congressional con-
nidOf0ttons DtotuCo tuOib 10 buG ptbJOutub
of the Oleomargarine law. 1t is true that
in one sense this enactment was a case of
whipping the devil around the stump,
since the matter was got at by the inn
position of tax, and that performance
could not be repeated with regard to
adulterated articles without intensifying
the evils sought to be abated. Still, the
fact that the Government did take hold
of and regulate food product, is an in
dioation that it could handle the sub
ject in another fashion when found ne
cessary.
Professor Clark, who has given this
subject much thought, advocates render
ing all adulterated or fraudulently label
led goods contraband and liable to seizure
at Custom Houses. He also suggests
that all adulterated articles offered to the
Government in fulflment of official con-
tracts shall be liable to seizure. This is
good so far as it goes, but it does not go
far enough. What is wanted is legislation
providing for the appointment of inspec-
tors, who must qualify by special exani.

to time under rules to be decided on, and

Bro. r. B. Hayes, after being publicly
installed as Noble Grand Of his Odd
Fellows Lodge at Fremont, Ohio, last
month, said
The beneficial societies commonly
known as secret societies lin fact they
are secret chiefly in name and secret only
to guard against imposture) gather under
the same family roof, in close intimacy,
persons differing in occupation, politics,
religion and condition of life, and fuse
them easily and naturally into complete
harmony and cordial friendship. This.
in our American Society, is no small
benefit. 1t cultivates that brotherhood
on the basis of common humanity
which is the foundation of free institu-
tions.
The danger that threatens to-day is
two-fold on one hand a reckless disre-
gard for the obligations of law, lack of
due respect for orderly government
which means anarchy on the other hand
popular rights are imperilled by the
greed of power and gain, which looks to
the building up of caste as real as the
hereditary and legalized aristoeraoy Of

Odd Fellowship, and similar organiza-
tons, afford large numbers of men, and
women, too, in all parts of the country
schools for practical education in self
government. In them is taught the
lesson of the sacredness of the laws
which we ourselves have made. That
lesson stands four square in the
path of our deadly enemy-anarchy.
These societies train their members in
tho essential principles of real democ-
racy. The accidents OF birth, educa-
ton, wealth, social condition, go for
nothing here as against equal human
rights. The education thus acquired
stands with a face of flint against that
dsspotism of caste which would place
wealth and privilege and monopoly
above the rights of men,

Dead Body Found.


On Sunday last, as Jacob Fabian who
resides on the Island formerly known as
Killmer's Island) half mile below the
Delaware bridge at Frerchtown, was
hunting through the bushes near the up
per end of the Island, be discovered what
he supposed, was the remains of human
being. He notified Mr.. VIM. Hoffman Of
his discovery and together they went and
found the remains of a woman, and from
the dress it was supposed to be the body
of Barbara Fite, who disappeared from
Easton, on March 18th. A telegram was
sent to the Chief of Police of that city,
and Monday morning Detective Simons,
and several of the relatives Of Mrs. Fite,
came down and identified the body as that
of the missing woman.
Deputy Coroner Flemmings empaneled
a jury who after taking the evidence Of
several witnesses, brought in verdict Of
supposed accidental drowning.
The body was taken in charge by In
dertaker Hummer, who placed it in cof.
fin ami took it to Easton.
Messrs. Fabian and Hoffman received a
reward of $25. -FrenchtosOn Independent,

"Sea and Land"
An agency for one of j. W. Buels
books is worth about as much as a well
stocked farm without any mortgages. -
He seems to know by intuition what will
suit the people, and he writes for the
masses. He has never yet written book
that was not a great success; but his latest
work, issued by the Historical Publishing
Co., of Philadelphia, Pa, ''Sea and
Land" will doubtless excel all his previ-
GUS efforts. It is Natural History Of
the wonderful creatures that live in the
Sea and on the Land, illustrated with
over 300 engravings and colored plates
and enlivened with stirring incidents and
adventures. The Christian Reflector says:
1.-THE book is revelation to us. We had
no idea that the subject could be treated
in such an intensely interesting manner.
1t is great work, and we are almost per-
suaded to turn book agents ourselves and
help to circulate 1t for the good it will
do.'' The publishers offer special in
ducements to canvassers, students, teach
ers and others. See advertisement else
where.
